Mode of Continental Thinning and Breakup Along the North Iberian‐Armorican Conjugate Margins in the Bay of Biscay

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

Thermo‐Mechanical Rift Evolution of Large Igneous Province Crust

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Numerical models, coupled with observational data, have proven crucial for addressing fundamental questions regarding extensional processes from continental rift to mid‐ocean ridge (MOR). However, extensional processes at Large Igneous Provinces (LIP), a distinct type of lithosphere, have not been examined, leaving a thorough comprehension of ...

Receiver Function Imaging of the Mantle Transition Zone Beneath the East Sayan Mountains and Adjacent Area in Central Asia: Implications for Lithospheric Drip and Intraplate Cenozoic Volcanism

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 15, 16 August 2025.
Abstract To provide constraints on the formation mechanisms of intracontinental volcanisms and intriguing lithospheric thickness variations in the East Sayan Mountains and surrounding areas, we stack P‐to‐s receiver functions to image the 410‐km and 660‐km discontinuities.

The Seismogenic Thickness of Venus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Growing evidence that volcanism is currently ongoing on Venus suggests that the sister planet of the Earth may also be seismically active. Given the success of seismic measurements on Mars and the Moon to reveal the interior structure of these bodies, seismic investigations on Venus are a natural next step.

The Inter‐Cratonic Neoproterozoic Katangan Basin of Central Africa: Rift Basin Formation, Orogenic Inversion and Potential Fluid Pathways

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The tectono‐stratigraphic development of continental basins is critical to an understanding of continental tectonics and the formation of metal deposits. The Neoproterozoic, inter‐cratonic Katangan copper basin of Central Africa records a tectono‐stratigraphic evolution and the generation of potential metal transporting fluid pathways ...

Deciphering a Quantitative Relationship Between Rifting and Crustal Melt Fraction: Insights From the Incipient Okavango Rift Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract Rifting and magmatism are fundamental geological processes in the evolution of the lithosphere; however, quantitative investigations of their relationship are rare. The Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) is in the early stages of rifting and magmatic activity and thus is an ideal locale to study this relationship.
